Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2423 The ambush begins!

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun shone obliquely on the winding mountain road.

The scorching heat made the Japanese and puppet troops listless. Only the steel behemoth driving on the mountain road was still making a harsh roar.

Aoki's convoy slowly drove into the Yandang Mountain area.

Yandang Mountain is famous for its dense trees and overlapping mountains.

In the distance, the mountain peaks are like swords, piercing the sky. In the near distance, ancient trees are towering with branches and leaves intertwined, forming patches of dense green shade, blocking most of the sunlight and making the mountain roads on both sides appear dark and deep.

Aoki sat in the passenger seat of the lead car, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly through his sunglasses.

He knew very well that the terrain in the Yandang Mountain area was complex and varied, making it very suitable for ambushes.

However, there were so many possible ambush locations that he could not possibly search them all. Otherwise, he would not be able to return to Songyuan before dark.

So Aoki could only order the Japanese outside the car: "Tell everyone to be careful, the terrain here is very complicated."

"Hi!"

A Japanese officer took the order and immediately gave the order for the convoy to continue slowing down its movement, while the scouts had already gone ahead to explore the way.

In order to ensure the safety of the food, Aoki also dispatched puppet troops to walk at the front of the convoy.

In this case, if there are landmines, the puppet soldiers will be killed.

Naturally, the puppet soldiers did not dare to say anything. Although they knew it was very dangerous, they did not dare to disobey the devil's orders.

What's more, they felt that nothing would happen, after all, they had taken this same route when they came here.

So the convoy slowed down and prepared to pass through the Yandang Mountain area cautiously.

But the Japanese didn't know that their every move was seen by Duanwu.

Duanwu admired Qingmu's prudence very much.

But this was of no use, because Duanwu had encountered opponents who were more cautious than Aoki.

But so what? In the face of Duanwu's almost unsolvable tactics, these little tricks of the devils are simply useless.

Duanwu quickly adjusted his tactics.

Although the Japanese did not send out a reconnaissance team to search along the mountain road.

But the Japs were very vigilant.

If the ambush is too close and the Japanese see through you, it will be difficult to succeed.

Of course, if they launch a frontal attack, with a total of two squads of Japanese soldiers and nearly a company of puppet troops, Duanwu is still confident that he can capture the enemy.

However, if he did so, more than half of the 300 soldiers he had brought to Songyuan with great difficulty would be lost, and even two-thirds might be killed.

Therefore, Duanwu must be cautious in this battle.

"Long Qianyan, you are responsible for the high ground on the left. Assign all the snipers to your team. Make sure that no enemy can break through."

"Yes!"

Long Qianyan obeyed the order.

At this time, Duanwu said to Ma Pingan: "Old Pan, we will rely on you to throw the grenades later. Bring all the grenade throwers with you to blow up the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Yes!" Ma Ping'an also took the order and left.

The reason why Duanwu asked Ma Ping'an to command these grenadiers was because Ma Ping'an was steady and had rich combat experience.

Duanwu believed that he could drop the bomb at the most appropriate time and throw the enemy into chaos in a short period of time.

No matter how well-trained the soldiers are, they will panic when they are suddenly attacked by grenades, because they have to dodge the flying grenades, and if they don't dodge, they will be blown away.

Duanwu is naturally waiting for this opportunity to take action in order to maximize the benefits of the battle.

In other words, the reason why Duanwu was able to inflict such an astonishing casualty ratio was basically due to ambushes and bursts of firepower in a short period of time.

If the enemy is crippled in the first place, even if they have undergone the most rigorous training and counterattack immediately after a major attack, it will be too late.

This is war, extremely cruel. If you lose the initiative, you will pay a huge price in casualties.

As the Japanese convoy slowly drove into the designated area, Duanwu's eyes became sharper. The enemy had already entered his ambush circle, and even if they wanted to escape at this time, they had no chance.

"Throw!"

Following Ma Ping'an's order, the grenadiers pulled out their grenades, pulled the strings, and threw them almost at the same time. Their movements were done in one smooth motion without any hesitation.

Dozens of grenades broke away from the grenadiers' tightly clenched palms almost at the same time. They drew perfect parabolas in the air, constantly spinning and rolling in the air, and intertwining with each other.

They flickered coldly in the sunlight, like flowers of death suddenly blooming in the sky, each petal containing the power of destruction.

  hum!

As the grenades' rotation accelerated, they emitted a series of low and powerful buzzing sounds in the air, like butterflies of death flying in the sky, and each flap of their wings seemed to foreshadow the coming of death.

The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were instantly filled with fear and despair. They had originally tried to remain calm, but now it was as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed their throats, and even breathing became difficult.

The sound of grenades flying in the air was like the whisper of death to the Japanese. Every sound of a grenade flying through the sky struck deep into their souls.

Their eyes were filled with shock and fear. They probably never dreamed that someone would actually dare to ambush them.

Some of the Japanese soldiers were already scared silly at this time, their pupils were dilated, and their bodies were stiff, as if they couldn't even move.

Some of the Japs' lips trembled slightly, as if they wanted to give a warning, but their voices did not obey their commands at all, and they could only make whispers like murmurs.

Some of the Japanese soldiers held their weapons tightly with both hands, but their fingers were shaking constantly and they had even lost the courage to pull the trigger.

This was even more true for the puppet troops. Most of them were so frightened by the sudden grenade that they froze in place, their legs feeling as if they were filled with lead.

Some puppet soldiers were so frightened that they started howling.

Aoki, who was sitting in the car, became nervous and shouted orders to dodge.

However, at this moment, grenades fell to the ground and exploded.

  boom! boom! boom!

Explosions sounded one after another, as if the gates of hell were suddenly pushed open, and flames and smoke instantly engulfed everything.

Flames shot up into the sky, dust rose high, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and burning. The whole world seemed to be torn in two at this moment.

And those grenades still flying in the air are like the prelude to this feast of death. They continue their journey until they find the next target and once again emit that heart-pounding light.

The entire battlefield was dotted with these flying grenades, like a sea of ​​fire in hell.

At this moment, it seemed as if even time had frozen at that moment, with only the images of grenades spinning and flying in the air and the continuous explosions becoming the only main theme on this land! .
